“As a North Carolina Teaching fellow I feel one of the highlights is that I know that I am not alone. My efforts are always validated, and the support system provided to us makes me feel seen. I also love how there are multiple opportunities for us to engage with students from other universities, and to get a wide perspective of what it takes to be an excellent educator.” -Alyssa Eickler

“My highlight from being a North Carolina Teaching Fellow is being able to have a community of other fellows that are striving to be future educators. I think it is so awesome to have other people going after the same goals at Meredith and at other schools nearby as well. I love the ability to get classroom experience as well as professional development through North Carolina Teaching Fellows experiences.” -Eleni Hull
